Summary: test_1686475 of test_os & pagefile.sys 

Initial Comment:
test_1686475 of test_os appears to rely on the
existence of "pagefile.sys" on the C drive like so:

def test_1686475(self):
    # Verify that an open file can be stat'ed
    try:
        os.stat(r"c:\pagefile.sys")
    except WindowsError, e:
        if e == 2: # file does not exist; cannot run test
            return
        self.fail("Could not stat pagefile.sys")


But since pagefile.sys may not be on every C
drive and since the exception object e is not a numeric then that test is 
probably going to fail if the pagefile.sys does not exist where it is expected.

In such a case Windows returns "[Error 5] Access is denied: 
'c:\\pagefile.sys'". So we need to test if e.winerror == 5 to skip this and 
return without failing.

Patch "test_os.patch" is attached. 

By the way, I see the same problem in the trunk, so maybe this need to be 
applied there as well.

Martin,

I think you should be checking for ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED not
ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION as you do in your patch to r54685 and r54686. The
attached posixmodule patch fixes this issue for me on MinGW. Can you try it
out?
File Added: test_1686475.patch
